FDA Accepts for Filing the Humanitarian Device Exemption Application For EMulate Therapeuticstm Hælotm Pediatric System

SEATTLE, June 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- EMulate Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage therapeutic device company developing non-invasive treatments for cancers and other serious diseases, announced it has received notice that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted for filing the EMulate Therapeutics application for Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) for the Hælo Pediatric system. The FDA granted the Humanitarian Use Device (HUD) designation for the Hælo Pediatric system in March 2018 to treat diffuse midline glioma (DMG), including diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), in children.

Chris Rivera, EMulate Therapeutics President and Chief Executive Officer, made the announcement stating, "This is another important step for our company. Upon the HDE approval anticipated later this year, we will be able to begin commercialization of the Hælo Pediatric system in the US to treat DMG. Most importantly, we are on our way to providing a potential treatment for children with this aggressive and uniformly fatal condition."

Donna Morgan Murray, Chief Regulatory Officer for EMulate, stated, "DMG, including DIPG, is an ultra-rare brain tumor that primarily effects children between the ages of 5 and 10 years of age. The median survival is less than 1 year following diagnosis. It is gratifying that we have the potential to bring this new and unique treatment to children suffering from this devastating disease."
